Proftpd Max Clients Problem

I have anonymous ftp turned of on my server. Users that are logging in are getting the message that a maximum of 3 clients can connect at once (when more than 3 try to login). How can I up the limit? The proftpd looks like it can limit the anonymous logins, but I didn't see anything for users. Any suggestions?

Originally posted by jasonl813 My proftpd.conf file looks very basic. There are no domain entries located in the file.

Are you doing shared ip hosting ? I think the domains are listed in the proftpd.conf only if you have a dedicated ip assigned to the domain. I tried to find information for shared, but was unable to. Will keep in mind, once i get the info, will post here.

Sorry.

I am receiving this same issue with one of my customers. I increased the max limit to 10 and he still recieves the error after some file transfers. Intially he was using cuteftp. I had him try smartftp. I wait till his connections time out which I verify, then have him try it again. Immediately his connections shoot up to 7+ then he exceeds 10.

We're seeing this now as well for users on unique IPs. They have gone in and ensured there are no active sessions using the Session Management feature in cPanel, yet they still get the error. Sounds like a bug somewhere (if they have no active sessions, how are they using all of them?!?!)

Hi, this is a somewhat old thread but I think it can be usefull to others with this problem.

I've edited /etc/ftpd.conf and increased MaxClients for the VirtualHosts that needed more conextions, restarted ProFTPd and it worked ok.
